Funniest thing about that whole story, of course: The blogger was taken to court because her review title ("The place to avoid: Il Giardino in Cap-Ferret") showed up 4th in Google searches. Now? The 3rd result is a post about the lawsuit titled "Is Il Giardino in Cap-Ferret the worst restaurant in France".

I got a friend request from bnet, i accepted and asked who he was, no reply. A min after he goes offline and changes his bnet name in GMsomething.

They came up with something new.... I guess I can start reporting all those friend requests now.

So, people are upset that a video game tournament is aired on ESPN, but cool with texas hold 'em poker.

Could have to do with exposure.

For example, I and everyone I know has played at least some version of poker (including my 9-year-old daughter) or is at the very least familiar with all of the cards and their relative values. I and everyone I know can infer what cards would be useful to any of the displayed hands, understand the objective of the game, and at least some of the strategy.

On the other hand, I can't tell you what "DOTA" stands for, have no understanding of which things on screen were player-controlled and which were NPCs, which things was on who's team, what the objective was, or if any team was reaching the objective.
